Shockingly bad advice, eh?

"I finally settled on a system. I asked Ron [Conway] what he does. It’s pretty simple. In the morning, he sets three things to do for the day. If he does all three, then it’s a good day. If he doesn’t, then it’s a bad day."

This one is really stretching the definition of an acquihire. It may be that the $2-$5M is unvested stock for the team itself.
